McGlynn's "GermanizinE" Theory.

citizen of Wisconsin, who has for years
made careful study of sociological questions
writes that the McGlynn theory to the
Germaniziug of that region for the benefit OF the
Roman Catholic Church is absurd. For one

Germans in comparison with the German Luth-
Grams, Methodists and membe of other evan

he SAYS, ''can be Germanzed for the benefit of
the Roman Catholic Church, or anything else. !"
The insuperabie obstacle is that the children of
German parents will learn the English language
and become American citizens AS an illustra-
ton of this irresistible drift, our correspondent
describes An incident which occurred as he went
from his Office his house just before he wrote

to see it. One of the children picked up the
tobacco and gave it to her parents. who made
cigarettes from it and smoked them very

SwAYZEE, Aug. 8.-The great gas we'll found

resumed. At the flow began to increase
rapidly, and at o'clock it began to hurl De bibles

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journat
Permit to make the amende honorable.
I have sbeen one among the persons that have
''cussed" the Journal for its position the
natural gas question. But recently light has
entered my mind, and think can some
thing. Your position is the correct one. The
present combination of the coal-men and the
gas company to dawdle along so that natural gas
cannot be had this winter Is evident. If we
to fall into the hands of any monopoly let it be
the Standard Oil Company rather than the city
gas company. A company that is charging the
consumers 81 80 per thousand feet for gas that
can be manufactured for thirty-fve cents per
thousand feet IS not the one we want COM
papy which, while il controls the whole output
of coal OIL puts the price down from one dollar
to fifty eight cents promises better for the cti-
zens of Indianapolis. SIGNUs
